Hi Greg, I'm a big fan of yours. I'm going to thickin my face, I just broke my very old racket and I'm planning to stop because of it. Can I get a racket from you so that I can continue my dream to be the best player I can be and soon to beat you. Enjoying your videos here in the Philippines.

All in good fun. I was surprised though that Pat didn't recognise a national player. It just goes to show badminton is really a less popular sport in the UK. I may be wrong though.

Hi Badminton Insight! After watching some of your videos for q few days already, I think I'm going to play badminton again after more than 20 years of not playing it competitively. Your warm ups and training videos are a good help for me to refresh on the trainings I had before in the younger years. Love lots 💓 💗

It would've been funnier if Pat was pretending as well, then turned out to be a pro during coaching session.

Heaps of credit to Pat. He took the gag really well. More importantly in my book, as a good 'intermediate' he was prepared to play a beginner that he didn't know. Too many club players forget their roots and don't want to play with or against beginners. Good fun, well done guys!

Amazing, I was smiling while watching. A story: I help to coach beginners at a badminton leisure school in Porto, Portugal. We had this blonde foreign guy once coming for our training sessions. As I always do, I play a bit with beginners to measure their skill and fit them with same level players. I start playing with him with a plastic shuttle and in a few rounds, I noticed it was worth it to switch to feathers. 15 minutes later I was dripping sweat like I was in a competitive game. I paused for breathing and ask "So, you have played before, where?" His answer "Oh in the Czech Republic, I was in the youth national team." :D Shout out there for Jan!
